While Australia’s largest rally for LGBTI rights marched in Sydney onDecember 3rd last year the ALP changed their party position to nolonger support discrimination in the marriage act but now it is timeto put their money where their mouth is.

Equal Love vow to keep up the pressure until the marriage act is changed in law.

Convener of Equal Love Victoria, Ali Hogg argues that “the platformchange is nothing but window dressing if it doesn't lead todiscrimination being removed from law.”

LGBTI people will keep mobilising until marriage equality is areality. Equal Love Victoria will be holding picket actions outside ofMP offices in 2012 to pressure them to vote in favor of equality aswell as taking part in a National day of Action to coincide withInternational Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia on Saturday May12.

Hogg believes if we mobilise we can win “We saw over 10,000 peoplemarching outside the ALP conference and it was a real sign thatAustralians are fed up and want equal rights granted in law!”

“If we keep up the mobilisations of thousands across Australia in 2012to demand that all politicians vote for equality we have a realpotential to win”

From now on, we need to be demanding ALL MPs vote for equal rights. Wealso demand that equal rights be adopted as binding policy by bothmajor parties.
